| 20110224738 | BONE CONNECTOR WITH PIVOTABLE JOINT - System, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for connecting bones and/or bone portions using a bone connector with a pivotable joint. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110196491 | BONE PROSTHESIS - Method and apparatus for replacing part of a bone with a prosthesis. The prosthesis may comprise a head configured to replace an end portion of a first bone and to articulate with an adjacent second bone. The prosthesis also may comprise a stem configured to be disposed in a bore formed in a medullary canal of the first bone. The stem may define a longitudinal axis. The head and stem may include coupling structure that permits the head to be mounted onto the stem by sliding the head into engagement with the stem in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the stem. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110137351 | BONE FIXATION WITH A BONE PLATE ATTACHED TO A FASTENER ASSEMBLY - System, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for bone fixation with a bone plate attached to a fastener assembly including a first fastener disposed in threaded engagement with the bone plate and a second fastener disposed in threaded engagement with the first fastener. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110022049 | ADJUSTABLE BONE PLATES - Bone plates having an adjustable joint, and methods of using the bone plates to fix bones. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20100324602 | EXPANDED FIXATION OF BONES - System, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for expanded bone fixation with bone plates. A bone plate and an extension plate may be provided. The bone plate may be secured to a proximal portion of a humerus and overlapping the greater tuberosity of the humerus using fasteners received in openings defined by the bone plate. The extension plate may be attached to the bone plate and the humerus using (a) a fastener disposed in an aperture defined by the first end region and in threaded engagement with the bone plate and (b) a fastener received in an aperture defined by the second end region and extending into the humerus. The attached extension plate may extend from a position over the greater tuberosity to a position over the lesser tuberosity of the humerus such that the intermediate region is disposed over a biceps tendon. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100121390 | PARTIAL OR COMPLETE PROSTHETIC REPLACEMENT ARTHROPLASTY OF THE DISTAL RADIOULNAR JOINT - System, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for replacement of at least one surface region of a distal radioulnar joint using at least one prosthesis. In some embodiments, the system may provide restoration of normal, unconstrained biomechanics of the joint, which may preserve rotation and translation and ensure durability of the joint. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20090076554 | INSERTION TOOL FOR BONE PLATES - System, including methods, apparatus, kits, and components, for installation of a bone plate using an insertion tool attached to a bone plate and providing a blade for lifting soft tissue off bone in front of the bone plate as the insertion tool is advanced along a surface of the bone. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090069851 | BONE FIXATION WITH SLENDER SPANNING MEMBERS DISPOSED OUTSIDE BONE - System, including methods, apparatus, kits, and components, for bone fixation using a pair of slender spanning members to span a fracture outside bone. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090069812 | RIB FIXATION WITH AN INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL - Systems, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for fixing rib bones with a fixation device including an intramedullary nail connected to a generally U-shaped plate. | 03-12-2009 |
